Beautiful color and light-as-a-feather texture make these rolls our family's favorite for holiday meals. I won the Reserve Champion award at a 4-H yeast bread competition with this recipe. -LeAnne Hofferichter, Floresville, Texas

Ingredients:
� 2 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
� 1-1/2 cups water
� 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
� 1 teaspoon sugar
� 1/2 cup butter, melted
� 1/2 cup honey
� 1/4 cup canola oil
� 2 eggs
� 2 teaspoons salt
� 6 to 7 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring potatoes and water to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid; cool liquid to 110� to 115�. Mash potatoes; set aside 1 cup to cool to 110�-115� (save remaining potatoes for another use).

2. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in reserved potato liquid; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the reserved mashed potatoes, butter, honey, oil, eggs, salt and 1-1/2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

3. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

4. Punch dough down and turn onto a floured surface; divide into 30 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place 10 balls each in three greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400�. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool
